Biography
Jean was a winner in the England Project GO GREEN Challenge.
Jean (Wright) Brooks has completed the England Project's Orphan Trail.
Jean (Wright) Brooks was born in Lancashire, England.
Jean has completed the Profile Improvement Project's Voyage
Jean has been a member of the England Project for over 1,000 days.
I became interested in Family History in 1967 when I was shown a family bible written by my GG grandfather William Salisbury born in 1832. He had been married three times, had ten children and only three survived. I became hooked on the subject, asked many questions and started to build a tree, which was quite small at that time. I remember in the 1980s when my son did a project at school on family history. He took the family tree into school and everyone was amazed at how far back some of the information went (to about 1784 at that time).
Life, marriage, children and work intervened until the internet was invented and gradually I was able to build my tree on line and even find records for those family members I already knew. Now over the last 30 years I have been able to grow the tree almost to infinity. Now there is almost too much information.
Now retired, in Shipley, West Yorkshire, and in my 70s I felt the need to be able to leave all this information for future generations as although my family are interested in what I have discovered they may not have the time or enthusiasm to continue.
WikiTree is ideal for this as I can build the profiles and they can be amended if other family members have information they want to add.
I would appreciate it if anyone finds any errors or anomalies in my managed profiles, or if any family members wishes to add or amend details and sources, that they are welcome to edit them, or just let me know. I like to think that I am very careful in my research, but it's sometimes easy to go wrong.
Also while I am still in the 'here and now', in these uncertain times, I hope that in the future, when I am no longer able to continue, some family members will find their ancestors in the profiles, take them on and carry on the research.

The other two Biography Teams work on Abandoned and Popular profiles from the provided lists. Please let us know if you are content with your current Team or would like to change to one of the others.
If you have not already done so, we invite you to join the email GoogleGroup. We use the WikiTree Discord server #profile-improvement channel for our project. Neither is required; we also use the Profile_Improvement tag in G2G for Project announcements.

Thanks for your message. Yes I would like to continue in my current role. I still have plenty of improvements to make on my own watchlist, and trying to improve others in the North of England. I look on each one as a success if I have managed to give the person some sort of life, and prove with sources. So I will keep plodding on.
Regards, Jean

Thanks for your message. I did think about it, but at the moment I'm more focused on improving profiles in Yorkshire and Derbyshire. I find it hard to add just one or two sources and haven't the time to go back and improve them.
I will definitely join the next Connectathon though and am getting well prepared for that one. Best of luck to the team.
Jean

Thanks for your kind message, and yes I would like to continue in my current role. I am finding more than enough to work through, and just wish I could find more time, as there is so much to do.
There are other projects I am interested in, but at the moment just can't commit to anything else. Hopefully I will do in the future.

Thanks for the message. I have signed up, and will be trying to connect a Barlow family in Manchester who are on my Watchlist. Not confident but will give it a go.
Regards Jean
I would like to thank you for all your contributions towards the goals of the England Project. We've achieved a huge amount during this period and we couldn't have done it without you and our other project members.
Are you happy to stay in your current project teams? Which teams are you most active in? Are there other teams you would like to join or become more active in?

Thanks for your message. I would like to stay with the Yorkshire Team. I am finding plenty of work to do there in the suggestions and unsourced profiles, but would also like to join the Lancashire Team. I am a Lancastrian and know the area well, and am currently doing more research there, mainly on my husband's family.
I'm not sure I can give much feedback on how the project is doing. I just keep plodding on and do what I can in the time available, and still learning much about WT. Hope this is OK.
regards Jean
Well, it was a fun weekend, we hope you enjoyed yourself, it is a learning curve, Thank you for joining us. It is appreciated. The combined score for our teams was a fab 9,296 up 419 on last year, well done. The total overall figure was 56,972 profiles sourced.

It's that time of the year again: check-in time! As England Project Leaders, we like to check in with you every six months or so to see how things are progressing. Back in May, we didn't ask for a response due to the rapid emergence of Covid-19 because we understood that people's lives were changing rapidly. While we are still living in a Covid world, we do need to hear back from you this time around.
First of all, how are you doing? What are you currently working on? Are you happy with the team(s) you're in, or would you like to change things up?
Secondly, we're looking for some feedback on the Google Group and our Discord server. Do you use either or both of these? If you don't use either, why not? Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve participation and collaboration, either generally or for you personally?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Joan, Amy & Lizzie.
Thanks for the message. I am doing fine at the moment and keep plodding on improving and adding profiles to my family, plus correcting errors on the Yorkshire team, and trying to learn as I go along how to deal with them. They are not always easy, so hope I am doing OK. I am happy to continue with this for the time being. Regarding the Goole Group and Discord server. I didn't get round to joining the Discord group before my invitation expired, so perhaps you could send me another and I will try it out. Is this the same as the Google Group, if not I have no idea what that is. I still consider myself as a 'novice' on this site (even though I have now been on here for 2 years), and not really joined any other Projects because of lack of time and confidence to know what I am doing. Regards Jean
Your England Leaders are completing the six monthly check in with all team members. I wanted to thank you for your work on English Profiles. These are unprecedented and difficult times, and we understand as Project Leaders that your situation may have changed somewhat in the last few months. What we are all able to/ wish to contribute on Wikitree has changed. Please let me know if you are happy with your current role and team choice or if you wish to do something additional or different. Thank you again on behalf of all the project leaders for everything you do!
Kindest Regards, Amy Utting
Thanks for your message. Yes I would like to continue to work on the England Project. Although I have now been on Wikitree a while, I still consider myself as a novice on here as there is so much to learn. Currently I still have a lot to add on my own profiles, additions and improvements, and I am slowly learning how to deal with Suggestions on the Yorkshire Page. So if that's OK I would like to continue as I am and try to do as much as time will allow. Best wishes, jean
There is definitely a lot, but working through everything slowly is always the best way to go about things! Slow and steady, and all that ;D It's totally fine for you to continue where you are, we're just wanting to make sure that everyone is happy with what they're doing.
Let me know if I can do anything to help in the future!
Regards, Amy
Maddy
I am just checking in with you as a member of the Yorkshire Team. We are entering the last 8 days of the England regional go Green Challenge reducing the suggestions, unsourced and unconnected numbers. On the 13th the Northern Region were in the lead for the challenge with drop of 16,728!
As your regional cheer leader - I am encouraging everyone to go go go

Good luck Janet :)
On behalf of the England Leaders, I wanted to say a huge thank you for all your contributions towards the project in the past six months as a Team Member for Yorkshire. We've achieved a great deal during this time and we couldn't have done it without you.
Are you happy to stay in your current team and the project as a whole? Are there any other teams you'd like to join? What are we doing well, and what would you like to see us doing differently moving forwards?
Please respond to this message via e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you.
Many thanks,
Susie, England Project Leader :-)
We all appreciate your efforts to make our Shared Tree the best it can be.
